If you're going to break into MY house, FLUSH THE DAMN TOILET!

I found my private house by lucking on to the LAST (small) plot on Brynhildr. I don't know when the rule change took place, but houses that haven't been entered (by owner for private homes or any FC member for FC houses) for 30 days revert back to the open market (talk to the housing guy at the neighborhoods for further). It's fairly recent, because I took about 4 months off and just returned last week and got the notice but still had my house. So what I'm doing is EVERY DAY I check all 3 housing districts to see if there are any plots for sale. If I can find a medium or (gasp!) large, I'll buy it and sell my small one. I have no idea what they'll be resold at, so I'm preparing for a $40m piece of dirt. Good luck and don't give up.
